What does it do?

Domperidone maleate is a medication that blocks dopamine receptors and is used to improve gastrointestinal motility. It is mainly used to relieve symptoms of indigestion or nausea by promoting the movement of the gastrointestinal tract.

Domperidone maleate activates the muscle movements of the stomach and intestines by blocking dopamine receptors. This allows food to move more smoothly from the stomach to the intestines and inhibits nerve signals that induce nausea.
